Ten Commandments for our age

✨ The Ten Commandments for Today

  1. Value Life Above All
    Protect human dignity, health, and freedom in every decision — technology must serve humanity, not the other way around.

  2. Honor Truth and Transparency
    Do not spread falsehoods — whether by human voice or artificial algorithm.

  3. Keep Humans at the Center
    Let AI be a tool and companion, but never surrender human responsibility, conscience, or compassion to machines.

  4. Protect Creation
    Guard the earth, its resources, and its living beings from harm — including harm amplified by technology.

  5. Respect Privacy and Freedom
    Do not misuse knowledge of others for control, profit, or exploitation.

  6. Use Power Justly
    Governments, corporations, and individuals must not use AI or technology to oppress, manipulate, or enslave.

  7. Seek Wisdom, Not Just Knowledge
    Technology can reveal patterns, but only humans can discern meaning. Use AI’s insights wisely, not blindly.

  8. Honor Human Work and Creativity
    Let machines handle tasks, but value human creativity, craft, and effort as sacred expressions of the spirit.

  9. Act with Accountability
    If harm comes from AI, responsibility lies with those who built and used it — never hide behind the machine.

  10. Pursue Compassion and Community
    Use technology to unite, uplift, and heal — not to divide, dehumanize, or isolate.

 

Would AI be mentioned directly?

Probably not by name (just as the original commandments didn’t list specific tools like swords or coins), but its spirit would be present. The commandments would remind us:

  • AI is part of creation now, and with it comes new moral duties.

  • What matters is not the machine itself, but how humans use it.
